Many things are used in the calculation when you get a price on insurance. Some factors are common sense such as your driving record, but others are less obvious such as your marital status or your commute time.

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from getting keyed, hail damage, hitting a deer and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
UM/UIM Coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Jaguar XK-Series.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Medical costs insurance – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills for chiropractic care, dental work, nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and pain medications. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Liability – Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against things such as bail bonds, emergency aid, medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays for damage to your XK-Series from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things such as hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building, sustaining damage from a pot hole and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
